In response to feedback from our established Combating Piracy series, weâ€™ve put together an event which focuses exclusively on West African maritime security.
This event will bring together the global maritime and oil & gas industries to address the latest efforts being made to combat the issues of drugs and arms smuggling, as well as piracy, in West Africa.
